I have irregular periods - is Béa suitable for me?
If you know that you’re ovulating, then the Béa Treatment could be a good treatment option. Read our guide on Irregular periods and The Béa Treatment for more information.
When would the Béa Treatment Kit be unsuitable for use?
There are some cases where the Béa Treatment may not be suitable. Read our guide on contraindications for more information.
Can I use donor sperm with the Béa Treatment Kit?
Yes, the Béa Fertility Treatment is suitable for use with donor sperm!
There are a few different routes you can take when using donor sperm, from known donors to sperm banks. Béa Fertility does not sell or provide donor sperm for treatment. Read our article 'Navigating your treatment with donor sperm' for more information.
Will I get pregnant using the Béa Applicator?
Most people want to know how long it will take them to become pregnant. Although we know how long it takes on average for a person or couple, it is impossible to tell how long it will take you to become pregnant, because everyone is unique.
In general, when trying to conceive, multiple attempts can be the key to success. The same goes for intracervical insemination (ICI) – the longer you try, the higher the chance of success! Our recommendation is to use our kit for three cycles for the best chances of getting pregnant.
Read our guide on Intracervical insemination for more information.
Will my GP know about this treatment?
The Béa Treatment Kit is new on the market – it’s possible your GP hasn’t heard of it yet.
The Béa Treatment Kit launched in the spring of 2023. It’s an at-home fertility treatment that previously hasn’t been accessible or available to purchase online. Your GP may not know of us or the Béa Treatment Kit. If you wish to share details about your experience using the Béa Treatment Kit with your GP – that’s completely up to you.
How is the Béa Applicator better than a syringe?
A straw or syringe method deposits or injects semen into the vagina, so the sperm are near the cervix, essentially mimicking intercourse.
The Béa Applicator places our custom cervical cap against the cervix, holding the semen in place for up to one hour. This will minimise the contact of semen in the vagina (where the pH can reduce sperm quality), reduce semen backflow and increase the exposure time to the cervical mucus. By using a cervical cap, the concentration of sperm in the cervical mucus can be 3.23 times higher compared with sexual intercourse. Pregnancy rates with a cervical cap can be nearly 3 times higher compared to straw or syringe insemination.
Will it hurt when using the Béa Applicator?
The Béa Applicator is designed to suit most bodies and therefore, shouldn't hurt when using it.
Here's what to expect when inserting the Béa Applicator, and wearing and removing the cervical cap:
Using the Béa Applicator
The rounded edges of the Béa Applicator enable easy insertion of the device. You shouldn’t experience any pain when inserting the Béa Applicator or deploying the cervical cap.
Wearing the cervical cap
Wearing the cervical cap may feel similar to wearing a menstrual cup or using a tampon. You can go about your day as normal until it’s time to take it out, but there are certain activities you should avoid.
Removing the cervical cap
Removing the cervical cap shouldn’t hurt, but it might be uncomfortable if your vagina is dry.
If severe pain or irritation is experienced during or after use, remove the cervical cap and seek medical attention. You can also drop us an email at support@beafertility.com
How do I use the cervical cap?
The cervical cap is made from soft, medical-grade silicone. It has a string attached to it for easy removal after use.
Once you’ve poured the semen through the funnel and removed the funnel from the Béa Applicator, you’ll be able to see the top of the cap. Don’t attempt to touch it or remove it – the Béa Applicator is designed to insert it for you.
